Flames engulf building in 'challenging' blaze

No-one has been reported injured in the blaze

Firefighters have been tackling a blaze that ripped through a building in Jersey.

Crews were called to Clos Saut Falluet in St Brelade at about 23:00 GMT on Tuesday and found the two-storey building "fully engulfed in flames", said Jersey Fire and Rescue Service.

Tackling the blaze was "challenging" with firefighters having to "navigate through neighbouring properties and wooded areas to establish a water supply and begin fire suppression efforts", it said.

It took more than 20 firefighters about four hours to fully extinguish the fire and no-one has been reported injured.

The fire service said it would return to the scene in daylight and an investigation into the cause of the fire would be carried out.

A spokesperson said the fire demonstrated the "importance" of on-call firefighters.

"It is no doubt that without their support, we would not have been able to bring this fire to such a successful conclusion within such a short time period," they said.
